chaobellHere's a fun one:
XP Home box. Will not recognize a CD-ROM drive once it goes into Windows. Have tried three, count 'em, THREE new drives. Primary or secondary IDE, master, slave, or single, it matters not. Yes, the cables are plugged in the right way. Yes, they're properly jumpered. Yes, they are getting power. Yes, BIOS detects them.
The box will. Not. Speak. To. A CD-ROM drive in Windows. There is a yellow exclamation point in Device Mangler and bitching about drivers. No other apparent problems save minor font and color weirdness with IE.
Owner claims that all he did was uninstall Nero. Uh...right. Sure.
System Restore has been no help at all. Am about to eat own face over here. Ideas plz, short of "nuke from orbit and reinstall." I figure that might end up happening, but hopefully there's something else I can try first.
